On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes a day for smaller units, with bigger warehouse floors programmed over several visits. Work in places the size of Privett is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We look at joint widths, edge condition and the traffic on each route.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and the phasing set out.
- We remove failed material and packed debris until sound concrete is exposed on both faces.
- We vacuum each run and prime it if the chosen product requires a primer.
- We fill each joint to depth and finish it flush so wheels roll straight across.
- We tell you when each zone can carry trucks again and move on to the next.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Confirm the product named in the specification

About our floor joint sealing in Privett
We work on warehouse aisles, dock areas, factory floors, retail units and showrooms. Pricing depends on the length of joint, how worn the edges are and when we can get in and the figure is fixed before work begins. We work on joints along racking aisles, saw-cut induced joints and forklift and pallet-truck routes, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failing joints at loading bays and dock doors and old filler gone hard, cracked or loose. Whoever orders the work in Privett, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Small units near places like Privett are often converted farm buildings with new concrete floors. Joints in those slabs need a product suited to whatever runs over them, from pallet trucks to foot traffic.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Privett as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Gosport War Memorial Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is a smaller place like Privett outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Should floor joints be filled or sealed?
The answer comes from the traffic and the joint’s movement. Trafficked joints on truck routes normally need a semi-rigid filler to support the edges, while joints that move more take a flexible sealant.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
The work is phased. Areas are taken out of use a section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- A failing floor coating, which is a flooring contractor’s job
- A floor that rocks at the joints, which needs a structural fix
- Wide or random cracking that suggests a structural issue
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Joints along racking aisles

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Privett
Concrete slabs shrink as they dry out, and saw-cut joints give that shrinkage a planned place to crack. Each panel pulls back as it shrinks and the joints open up so a filler put in early may separate along one side.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Untidy open joints in a retail unit
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
- Saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit
For an estate such as Gosport War Memorial Hospital (0.6 miles east of Privett), the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
What your quote should include
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How they’ll work around occupants
Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Warehouse floors and decks around Privett
Privett sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, and edges left open tend to break up faster. The 3 miles around Privett take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. That puts plenty of warehouse floors, service yards and car parks close by, all with joints under traffic.
In a school such as Gomer Infant School, movement joints in brick, block and hall floors tend to be forgotten until they leak. At places like QinetiQ Haslar Marine Technology Park (1.5 miles east of Privett), joints are sealed a section at a time so operations carry on.

What the job involves on each surface
Construction joints
Day joints sit where one section of slab was cast against another. They often see more movement than sawn joints and that shapes the choice of filler or sealant.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
If a joint is still opening, a semi-rigid filler may part from one face. A later top-up usually puts that right, and we will explain it when we quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
- Sweep debris out of open joints until they can be filled
- Plan for a top-up on newer floors
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
A routine walk of the busiest aisles shows how the joints are holding up. Watch for filler pulling away from an edge, fresh chipping or grit collecting, and photograph anything that changes.
While the concrete edges are intact, it’s a filling job. After the edges go, repairs come into it and that takes longer and closes areas for longer.
